Townhouse

A townhouse (or townhome derived from
"house in town") is the term historically
used in the United Kingdom, Ireland and in many
other countries to describe a residence of a peer
or member of the aristocracy in the capital or major
city. Most such figures owned one or more country
houses in which they lived for much of the year.
During the social season (when major balls and drawing
rooms took place), and when parliament was in session,
peers and the servants moved to live in their townhouse
in the capital.

Today the term townhouse can have multiple definitions:
in North America it is used to describe terraced
housing and in Australia the term is commonly used
for contemporary medium density housing in the terraced
style.
